50/1

Forecasts

Chemical Charge (15/8), Muntahaa (2/1), Frontiersman (3/1), Sandro Botticelli (8/1), Tawdeea (10/1), Maleficent Queen (14/1), Desert Point (33/1), Saigon City (50/1)

MUNTAHAA ran some respectable races in Group company last season including when third at Royal Ascot in June. The selection was successful over further on his penultimate outing and can make a winning return to action in this 1m4f conditions event. Chemical Charge is finding it hard to win but ran well when finishing runner-up twice on each of his two starts since moving to this yard late last year. Frontiersman remains unexposed and can claim third having run well in a Group 3 contest at Newbury in October.
